The Tampa Bay Lightning overcame a 2-0 early deficit and a 3-1 third-period gap to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in overtime Saturday. Nikita Kucherov scored the power-play winner 3:23 into overtime, Jake Guentzel scored twice, and Charle-Edouard D’Astous tied the game late in regulation. Maxim Shabanov scored twice for Minnesota, and Blake Coleman also scored. The Wild’s three-game winning streak ended, but they earned a point to extend their points streak to eight games.
